The Wise May Bring Their Learning

The wise may bring their learning,

The rich may bring their wealth,

And some may bring their greatness,

And some their strength and health:

We too would bring our treasures

To offer to the King,

We have no wealth or learning—

What shall we children bring?

We’ll bring Him hearts that love Him,

We’ll bring Him thankful praise,

And young souls meekly striving

To follow in His ways:

And these be the treasures

We offer to the King,

And these are gifts that ever

The poorest child may bring.

We’ll bring the little duties

We have to do each day;

We’ll try our best to please Him

At home, at school, at play:

And better are these treasures

To offer to the King

Than richest gift without them:

Yet these a child may bring.
